Wilhelm von Nottbeck Park (Finnish: Wilhelm von Nottbeckin puisto) is a park in Tampere, Finland, located in the historic Finlayson factory area. The park is named after  [fi] (1816–1890), industrial manager at Finlayson,[1] who built the park in 1848.[2]

The park is English-style free-form park that strives for a natural impression. In the past, there were also greenhouses built in the 19th century, but they were demolished in the 1970s and replaced with a parking lot. The park was taken over by the city in 1995, when it also got its current name.[2] Attractions in the park include the Finlayson Palace[3] and the Kotkankallio Memorial.[4]
